One thing that bugs me the most about all of the bezzles mentioned is one point rrobello made.
They don't go over the edge of the housing. That's why none of them look OEM.
There's a set out there made by AVS, but they cover more than the lines in between the lights and looks bad, IMO.

Anyone know of any that go over the edge?
I honestly wouldn't want them going over the edge. I think they look better as-is, especially w/ the Silverhorse panel.

If they went over the edge of the housing, from any sort of angle, one of the chrome 'bars' would look wider then the others.

I don't think it would. Don't the SS versions go out to the edge of the lense?
Anyone have a close up pic of a tail light with the ss version?

I'm talking about 'wrapping over' the edge. The plastic ones fit exactly over the 'flat spots' that make up the stock tail light decorative frame to start with.

Those AVS ones look awesome if you are going for a 'modern' look, especially with a blackout panel.

Exactly. So going over the edge isn't going to make the "dividers" look any wider.

Exactly !! Just installed mine (from Harmon's Showlenses.com) today, fit is perfect, quality is perfect, heck even the 3M taping was perfectly applied. And to boot.....Harmon sent me a couple sets of showlenses for my fogs. What a nice guy !

If you're looking for a great quality item in terms of chrome-style bezels, this is the way to go. Pics look like everyone elses so I didn't bother.

I just installed the chrome ABS rear bezels from Mustang Tuning and they are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the flat cut stainless steel bezels I had on there before. The fit is perfect and the look is factory.

Think that looks good. Cost? I have a blackout panel so I believe a black bezel will go way better than chrome.
With these wider ones I'm curious how the car looks at night from a slight distance.

the good thing is that during the day they look solid black but at night when you turn your lights on they are see through. They are like a smoke tint.

and yes Moss Mustang
is where I ordered my AVS bezels from.

Actually, I wouldn't want them to be see through. I thought someone else had gotten them and hit them with satin black so at night the taillights look much more like a '70 stang.

yeah you can paint them black or to match. I just didnt want to mess around to much with the taillights for safety purposes and also didnt want to hide my sequential lights any more than I have too
